I am similar  to you as I will have celebrated 80 birthdays in. early fall.  However : we moved from the farm which I lived on 1946 to my present farm I live on 1951.  That acts as a bench mark fore and after.                                     I can share with you many experiences before we moved.  I  remember many events in elementary school : every teacher, ,what subject I was suppose to have mastered, it is very  to remember the names of each   girl friend that sent me down the road.  I relive the Dodger-Yankee games  1955-1956. Today I have difficult remembering  what hybrid I planted across the creek.
